1. Could you please tell us a bit about yourself? How you got started, how long you’ve been playing, anything you’d like the world to know about you…here’s your chance. :)
—My name is Laura Cheadle and I am 21 years old (22 this Wednesday). I have been performing since I was about five years old and grew up in an extremely musical family. My biggest influences are my father, James S. Cheadle and brother Jimmy Lee Cheadle (who are now in my band). I taught myself the guitar at sixteen years old and then started performing with my full band at age 18. My music style is a mix between soul, funk and pop and there’s nothing better to me than singing and performing.
2. Do you write your all your own songs? Music and lyrics?
–I sure do :)
3. Do you have a process you follow for each song, or is each a different journey?
–Lyrics usually pop into my head when I wake up in the morning and then the music will come a bit later. It’s always so random and comes out so quickly.
4. Do you set aside specific writing time, or do you scribble on the backs of napkins when the mood hits?
–I can never plan the mood. When creativity is there, you know it.
5. Is there anything else you’d like my readers to know about any specific songs, your music, or you…
–I would just say to check out my music/pics and full bio on www.myspace.com/lauracheadle, watch my videos, read my blogs and add me as a friend. I am always on here and would love to get to know you. :)
Thanks to Laura for the interview!
